Grade 9 EQAO Assessment of Mathematics

The Grade 9 mathematics assessment measures how well students have met the provincial expectations in The Ontario Curriculum. The assessment covers knowledge and skills in mathematics that students are expected to have acquired by the end of the school semester in both academic and applied programs.

The assessment is based on the four curriculum strands of mathematics: Number Sense and Algebra, Linear Relations, Analytic Geometry (academic program only), and Measurement and Geometry. Students enrolled in the applied mathematics program complete a different assessment than students enrolled in the academic mathematics program.

Students enrolled in first semester applied and academic mathematics programs wrote the assessment in January, and students enrolled in second semester and full year applied or academic mathematics programs wrote the assessment in June.
